Meet Rhys
Rhys’s registered name is Blue Tulip’s Moonlit Mist of Setareh, but around here he’s just Rhys—the soft-eyed lilac chinchilla boy who quietly stole our hearts.

Bred by Blue Tulip Holland Lops, Rhys was chosen for his beautiful type, dilute coloring, and calm, people-oriented temperament. From the moment we saw his baby pictures nestled between pumpkins, we knew he was exactly the kind of buck we wanted to build our program around: soft, balanced, and sweet.

He will live his entire life here as a loved family rabbit first, and a carefully used herd sire second.

Rhys at a Glance
    •    Breed: Holland Lop
    •    Variety: Lilac Chinchilla (dilute shaded agouti)
    •    Ears: Classic chunky lops with a soft drape
    •    Body: Compact, balanced, and “typey” with a nice, rounded topline
    •    Eyes: Deep, expressive, and curious
    •    Temperament: Easygoing, gentle, and people-social
    •    Status: Not for sale – resident herd sire

Temperament & Personality
Rhys is everything we love in a Holland Lop buck:
    •    Calm and observant rather than frantic or high-strung
    •    Enjoys gentle handling and being talked to
    •    Curious without being pushy
    •    Settles in quickly to new environments

Our focus at Setareh Bunnies is on soft hearts and soft temperaments. Rhys is a huge part of that vision—he’s the kind of bunny we want future families to meet when they imagine their own “dream bunny.”

Color & Type Nerd Corner 🌙
Rhys is a lilac chinchilla, a dreamy dilute color with frosted, misty tones that look almost moonlit in person. Paired with Poppy’s coloring, we hope to see:
    •    Lilac chinchilla
    •    Possible other dilute shaded/chinchilla variations
    •    Soft, compact bodies with sweet, open expressions

We never breed just for color, but Rhys’s dilute genetics are a beautiful bonus layered on top of his structure and temperament.

Health & Care
As part of our program, Rhys receives:
    •    Regular wellness checks with our rabbit-savvy vet
    •    Quality hay available 24/7
    •    Measured pellets, fresh water, and controlled treats
    •    Enrichment, safe chews, and soft spaces to relax
    •    Gentle handling and social time so he stays confident and people-friendly

We breed on a small, ethical scale, which means Rhys will only be used in carefully planned pairings with plenty of rest in between.

Breeding Plans
Rhys is planned as a future pairing with our doe:

Setareh’s Lilac Legacy – “Poppy”
🌙 Planned pairing: Spring 2026 (subject to Poppy’s health and maturity)
